Eternal Student.

Water the hydrangeas twice a week and trim as needed. The bromeliad only needs to be high-fived on Saturday, but you can give it high and low fives anytime you have a spare moment. Just, whatever you do, don't give it a "too slow" or it will turn inward and begin shutting down.

Learning.

'Want to hear something scary? This is the third time this week I've gotten off the bus and still remember what I've learned.'

"Why do I need to go to school? If I want to know anything I just Google it."

'I wanted to ask you about life-experience credit.'

"I wouldn't mind...But he's the teacher."

'Miss, I think I've learnt all I can too.'

'Father, when are you going to get software for our home computer that will teach me French?'

'Would it make a difference if I told you I was listening to book on audio?'

'The trouble with education is everyone knows how to teach, but nobody knows how to learn.'

'If i had my life to live over again... I'd make the same mistakes sooner'

'Where's the mouse for this thing?'

'After being here for more than forty years - as undergraduate, graduate student instructor, professor - what saddens me most is that this was not the college of my choice.'
